This is a brief excerpt from the novel I’m working on, Anika takes the long way home up soul mountain. (By the way, I’m going to give the novel away for free to everyone on my mailing list, so if you’re not on the list yet, you might want to Read more…

Let me preface this review by explaining something about myself: I am a dork. I am a dork, and I like silly, dorky movies and books. Especially silly, dorky romcom teen stuff. I don’t know why. I mean, I’m almost forty. But I love Say Anything and Sixteen Candles and Read more…
